It's really annoying. It no different from people who go into Linux forums and talk about how much they love Windows.

Void Linux uses runit, for example. Here's the documentation they provide on how to use it: https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/index.html
It only takes 5-10 minutes to read and understand how to manage all your services and write your own. Simple and fast. If only systemd were this easy!
The lesson learned (in my opinion) is that if you're going to design a language where errors need to be handled explicitly, you need to design the language from the ground up to support monadic error handling syntax. At this point, it seems too late to add it to Golang. What a shame - it could have been so much better of a language without this flaw.
Ubuntu is doing stupid things with packages, replacing them with their proprietary packaging system (called Snap). It has been controversial, the way that they are pushing it, especially since the Snap server is proprietary and non-open source.
A lot of people won't consider using Ubuntu at all for this reason alone, and it makes sense - when you consider that there are so many other distros to choose from these days, Ubuntu just doesn't really provide a whole lot of added value anymore.
I've seen even worse! Sticky headers with sticky sidebars on both sides. Only about 10-15% of the viewport was left for content. And this is for documentation, so you can only read about 100-200 words at once.
Why even bother having a webpage at that point. Just make the whole thing a non-interactive .png file.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: presidential systems suck. I'm not an expert on Polish politics, but it seems at the very least like the Poles were given a good choice of a candidate. Still, having too many people voting for a single candidate for a single office repeatedly leads to bad outcomes. France, Turkiye, USA - now we can add Poland to the list too.
Abolish presidencies! Embrace parliamentary systems!
100% agree. But I like posting articles like these because it brings me back to how I learned programming, and Linux specifically - namely by reading a bunch of articles from similar link aggregators and sharing sites.
My hope is that sharing articles like these is a form of planting the seeds for another cycle for people to learn the way that I did.
“Boston, as the Eagle and the Wild Goose See It” by James Wallace Black [1860] (first aerial photograph)
We can easily take images like this for granted today, but for its time, a photograph like this was an incredible achievement. Both photography itself as well as air travel have progressed a lot over the 160+ years since this photo was taken. It really puts a lot into perspective how much technology (and the world itself) has changed in so much time.
I've used a US-QWERTY keyboard layout my entire life. I've seen other layouts that do things like reduce the size of the enter/backspace keys, move the pipe operator (|) and can't wrap my head around how I would code on those.
What are your experiences? Are there any layouts that you prefer for coding over US English? Are there any symbols that you have a hard time reaching ($ for example)?

The handbook is outstanding. Read as much of it as you can. Even if you're not a Void user, you'll learn so much!
